Kylie Kelce dethroned Joe Rogan when “Not Gonna Life” snatched the No. 1 spot on the podcast charts.
Her victory over “The Joe Rogan Experience” took place just two weeks after she debuted her podcast, which is still the top-ranked show on Apple Podcasts.
“Not Gonna Lie” also held the top spot on Spotify for 10 straight days but is now fluctuating between first and second place with Rogan, 57, who still has millions more followers than Kylie on the platform.
Despite the triumph, the wife of retired NFL star Jason Kelce insists she “couldn’t care less about the charts.”
In a New York Times profile published Thursday, Kylie, 32, explained, “I”m focused on putting out content that people like to consume.
“If that puts us there for a week, cool. If it puts us there for longer than that, cool. But I also don’t need to feed any conflict that’s created by it.”
Rogan’s diehard fans, however, seem to be in an uproar. “That’s getting me going,” the pregnant mom of three admitted.
While the Donald Trump-supporting UFC color commentator’s show centers on longwinded conversations with experts in various fields, Kylie’s focuses on “mom stuff” and offers “the promise that you’re not going to get lied to.”
She told the Times that her episodes don’t exceed 45 minutes because she’s dedicated to “prioritizing the timeline of busy women.”
Rogan’s episodes, by contrast, can last up to three hours.
As for why she launched a podcast, Kylie — who prefers to stay out of the spotlight amid her brother-in-law Travis Kelce’s high-profile relationship with Taylor Swift — explained that she wanted a space to “set the record straight” about her family when needed.
Speaking about her daughters — Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 1 (she has a fourth on the way) — she shared, “I assume this isn’t always going to be our life, and I don’t want them to be impacted in some way that twists them into thinking that this is normal.”
Kylie, who coaches field hockey at the same Philadelphia high school she attended, went on to share that her political views “aggressively lean” left.
As such, her dream guest is a Democratic former first lady.
“I would talk to Michelle Obama in a heartbeat, and I know she is not personally running. But I would love it if she would,” Kylie said, acknowledging that her beliefs might upset some listeners.
“I mean this in the most respectful way,” she made sure to note. “I don’t care what other people have to say.”
